How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lane End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
FAQs for Lane End
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you work in Lane End?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Lane End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What does shower tray repair cost?

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lane End
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Staining and dullness across the tray

- Chips or cracks by the plughole

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
